Too Cute!

Are you ever a guest at a wedding and have no clue which bridesmaid or groomsmen is which? I love how this fan cleverly takes care of that problem! It lists the names of the wedding party from left to right so that guests have a face with a name. How perfect! This is just another great way to personalize your special day...

My new BFF

If you have a pet and have not discovered the dyson animal vacuum, you are seriously missing out. This thing is fabulous(I can't believe I have used the word fabulous in the same sentence as vacuum). My sweet mom gave it to me this weekend and I couldn't be more grateful!! After about two minutes over at my fiance's house, the cannister was FULL. And, I had just vacuumed his house the night before. Either his vacuum was really terrible or this one is just that awesome. So all you pet owners out there, get in your car, drive to Macy's, bite the bullet and purchase this amazing vacuum. Do it!

Our Fiesta!

I can't believe it has taken me two weeks now to finally get this post up! Our sweet friends threw my fiance and me a couples' shower on August 14th and we had a blast! Since my fiance is from Texas (and since Tex-Mex is one of my favorite foods), the hosts thought it would be fun to have a southwest theme that night with a delicious taco bar, chips, salsa and of course cheese dip. The invitation, flowers (and even plates and napkins) were bright festive colors that were just perfect for the fiesta! Here are a few snapshots from the party...

Southern Elegance

I am (of course) loving this gorgeous table with southern charm. The antique handkerchief, julep cups, mercury glass, ahhh I'm in heaven! I'm also crazy about the little flower arrangements hanging from the backs of the chairs. Can this table get any better??

Pottery Love

I was home in Mobile over the weekend and popped in to one of my favorite local gift shops, The Ivy Cottage, and stumbled upon the most gorgeous pottery by artist Caroline Reehl. Every piece of her collection is simply breathtaking to me...I just can't get enough of it!! A southerner herself, Caroline's pottery is inspired by the southern woman who epitomizes hospitality, cultivation of splendor, and rich traditions.

Dessert Bliss

I am crazy about this rustic fall dessert table!! My sweet tooth loves it when there are more options than just cake or cupcakes. So the addition of cookies, brownies and lemon squares has my mouth watering! I would take this dessert table one step further and add shooters of milk. The perfect ending to a delicious dessert bite!

Rustic Ring Pillow

These days I've got weddings more and more on my mind, as the clock ticks down to mine this Fall! So, you will have to bear with me as my blog will probably be more wedding focused than usual the next couple of months. When I think of Fall, I immediately think of rustic elements...which you know I absolutely LOVE. The other day I came across this fabulous idea for a rustic version of a ring pillow. If only I were getting married outside on a farm or ranch...that would be the ideal setting for this creative idea!!
